The championship showdown at the Lusail International Circuit immediately brought high drama for the Aprilia Racing squad as team manager Paolo Bonora addressed the physical condition of Jorge Martin. The Spanish rider continues to manage a lingering right wrist fracture sustained in recent weeks, yet managed a solid fifth-place finish during the opening practice session in Qatar following intensive physiotherapy back home.
Bonora provided a transparent assessment of the situation, noting that while the physical feedback from the RS-GP is much improved compared to the previous Malaysian round, extreme caution remains mandatory. The team recognizes that directional changes are currently less punishing for the rider, but heavy braking zones still pose a distinct physical hurdle around the desert layout.
The Italian manufacturer acknowledges that the track characteristics in Qatar offer slight relief regarding severe braking loads, yet the risk of fatigue over a full race distance remains a constant concern. Aprilia is determined to take a session-by-session approach, ensuring that safety and physical limitations are prioritized above all else during this high-stakes race weekend.
Mathematically, the target is clear as the team fights to keep the championship battle alive against title rival Marc Marquez. Bonora emphasized that as long as the numbers allow it, the squad will never surrender their championship aspirations, keeping their feet firmly on the ground while striving for a positive weekend ahead.
We must remain very cautious and keep our feet on the ground because we are fully aware of Jorge physical condition, Bonora stated while outlining the team cautious strategy for the remainder of the Qatar Grand Prix weekend.
